The Rise of ‘Quiet Quitting‘: A New Name for an Old Struggle?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (possibly in a blissful, work-free utopia), you’ve likely heard the term “quiet quitting” echoing across the internet. This buzzword has taken the online world by storm, sparking countless articles, heated debates on LinkedIn, and even think pieces on the future of work itself. But what exactly is it? And is it truly a novel phenomenon, or simply a rebranding of an age-old workplace struggle?
What is Quiet Quitting? Decoding the Buzzword
At its core, “quiet quitting” refers to the act of doing the bare minimum required of you at work. It’s about clocking in and clocking out, fulfilling your job description to the letter, but not going above and beyond. No more burning the midnight oil, no more volunteering for extra projects, and definitely no more checking emails on the weekend. Essentially, it’s about setting clear boundaries between your professional and personal life.
